How to use SmartTransfer

This article will show you how to send your files to SmartBench using the SmartTransfer app.

< Previous | List | Next >

Open the app

To open the program press the Windows key on your keyboard and begin searching for “SmartTransfer” until you find it in the list. 

Click on the icon to open it.

Set the default gateway on latest versions

Select your default gateway in the dropdown box in the help section to match the first three sections of your console IP address. In this example the console has an Ip address of 192.168.200.102 so we need to select a default gateway of 192.168.200 in the Smartransfer default gateway dropdown box.
 
The console ip address can be found either in the Wi-Fi application or the main Pro application 
 
 

Set the default gateway on version 2.0.1.6 and earlier only

To set your Default gateway in Smart Transfer, enter the first three sections of numbers from the console IP address without a full stop at the end. 

This is accessed through the (?) button in the top right corner of Smart Transfer. The IP address of the console can be found in the CAD/CAM app.

See the example below

Scan for SmartBenches

When you have setup the default gateway, and you scan - When the application has finished scanning, it will show you all the SmartBenches it has found.

If you want to add a new SmartBench to SmartTransfer application then click on the refresh icon on the top right corner.

Transfer a file

Double click on the bench that you want to transfer your job files to (click here to learn how to personalise the name for you SmartBench).

You have two options either by drag and drop or add a new file or folder to the bench on the filechooser view.

Drag and drop

This will open a window that you can drag and drop your files into. 

You can drop entire folders or multiple selected files into the SmartTransfer app. Any folder structure will be maintained.

 

For example here we will use an “X Rack Cutter” bench to transfer a job file.

 

 

When you click on the “X Rack Cutter” bench you will see the interface as shown in the image.

 

 

As an example, we will drag and drop a job file into the “X Rack Cutter” bench.

 

A dialog box will show the status of the transfer, here it is successfully transferred click “ok”.

Please wait while the file is transferred to SmartBench.

 

Your new job file will appear on the interface, an example of a job file “First Routing Project_1_E”.
